The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 111 household goods registrants whose physical address is in Salt Lake City, UT, and 36 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. BestMovers.info holds no Salt Lake City price measurement, only the Utah range on the Utah page. Utah does not license intrastate household goods movers separately. Canyon-area homes (Holladay, Sandy) face winter snow access issues; Sundance Festival (January) tightens downtown lodging.

IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 30,817 returns moving out of Salt Lake County, the county Salt Lake City sits in, and 28,050 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 54,328 individuals leaving and 44,237 arriving.
The counties receiving the most households from Salt Lake County were Utah County (5,735 returns), Davis County (2,973 returns) and Tooele County (1,396 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from Utah County (4,666 returns), Davis County (2,340 returns) and Weber County (856 returns).
These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.
How many licensed moving companies are registered in Salt Lake City?
The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 111 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Salt Lake City, and 36 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. The census records the city name as the registrant filed it, and "SALT LAKE CITY" (106), "SALT LAKE" (5) all appear for Salt Lake City; the total above sums them. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Salt Lake City. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Salt Lake City may not.
These companies have a documented headquarters or company location in Salt Lake City or its metro. Placement is based on documented location information, not a numeric ranking.

Redman Van & Storage files its own federal registration from Salt Lake City, Utah, and that registration is the primary federal identifier for this company. No current MC docket was located on the federal record reviewed. That is a statement about the records read and nothing more: no docket is guessed, none circulating in secondary listings is stored, and nothing here is a finding that the company lacks authority to operate. The company states first-party that it is a northAmerican Van Lines agent, and the northAmerican agency number 070851 is recorded as a van-line identifier belonging to the relationship rather than as a federal registration of this company. No federal safety rating is on file, which is neither a positive nor a negative signal. The company states first-party that it was founded in 1891.
Why is this company shown here?
Redman Van & Storage publishes its headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT.
USDOT 877758Salt Lake City, UT2BR est. $1,400–$4,900
The operating registrant behind the Bailey's brand today is Baileys Consolidated Services LLC at 400 N 700 W in North Salt Lake, carrying the DBA Baileys Moving & Storage LLC, with 55 power units and 101 drivers and common authority active. Readers who look the brand up elsewhere may still find the older Bailey's Holding Company registration at the same address; that entity's census status is inactive and its docket is no longer active, so it is recorded here as superseded rather than shown as current. The company states it was founded in Orem, Utah in 1952 by Cliff Bailey. Interstate moves run inside the Allied Van Lines network, and Allied's registration belongs to Allied, not to Bailey's.
Why is this company shown here?
Bailey's Moving & Storage is headquartered elsewhere in UT. That does not by itself confirm an office in Salt Lake City, and no service claim is made here.
USDOT 4205683North Salt Lake, UT2BR est. $2,200–$6,000
One of the oldest moving brands in the US, Bekins runs an agent-affiliate model similar to Allied, with interstate shipments booked under the Bekins registration and performed by affiliated agents.
Why is this company shown here?
Bekins Moving Solutions publishes broad nationwide moving service on its own site. It is shown separately from companies based in this area and its presence here is not evidence of a local office.
USDOT 2256609Indianapolis, IN2BR est. $3,000–$7,000
Budd Van Lines Inc is an independent nationwide carrier rather than an agent of a national van line, which is rare at this size: the federal census records 124 power units and 102 drivers filed from Somerset, New Jersey. Because the company holds its own active common and contract authority with household goods on the licensing record and no broker authority, the entity you contract with is the entity that hauls the shipment. The company's own history pages date the business to 1975.
Why is this company shown here?
Budd Van Lines publishes broad nationwide moving service on its own site. It is shown separately from companies based in this area and its presence here is not evidence of a local office.
Which movers are federally registered in Salt Lake City?
23 companies with a Salt Lake City address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 14 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 14 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
132 active registrants in Salt Lake City tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 54 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Salt Lake City: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Data as of 2026-08-15 from the FMCSA company census, with authority status as of 2026-08-16. The query behind this list. Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Does a federal registration mean a Utah licence?
No. Federal registration and Utah authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a Utah licence or permit.
Utah publishes no licence lookup we have verified.
When is the cheapest time to move in Salt Lake City?
Peak demand across Utah runs May–September. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Salt Lake City. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
Mid-month beats month-end. Leases and closings cluster at the turn of the month, so that is when crews are fully booked and least flexible.
Mid-week beats the weekend. Saturday is the single most requested moving day; a Tuesday or Wednesday competes with far fewer households for the same trucks.
Off-peak beats May–September. Outside the peak window, carriers are trying to keep crews working rather than turning jobs away.
Flexibility is the lever, not the calendar alone. On an interstate move, giving the carrier a pickup window of several days rather than one fixed date is usually worth more than any single date choice, because it lets them combine your shipment with another on the same lane.
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Salt Lake City, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
$10 to $20 per mover for a job of two hours or less.
$20 to $40 per mover for a local move under four hours.
$40 to $60 per mover for a full day, meaning six hours or longer.
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Salt Lake City and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Where can you get free moving boxes in Salt Lake City?
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Salt Lake City:
Liquor stores, which have the sturdiest small boxes with dividers
Bookshops, for small boxes rated for weight
Grocery stores, for produce boxes
Offices, for paper boxes with lids
Appliance and furniture retailers, for large flat cartons
Buy Nothing groups and Facebook Marketplace
Craigslist free listings
The U-Haul box exchange
Anyone in your building who has moved in recently
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
Frequently asked questions
How much do movers cost in Salt Lake City?
There is no separate cost dataset for Salt Lake City. Using the national estimate, a one-bedroom local move is estimated at $420–$930 and a two-bedroom local move at $630–$1,395, while a two-bedroom interstate move from Salt Lake City is estimated at $3,000–$7,000. Final price depends on distance, packing services, and date.
When is the busiest moving season in Salt Lake City?
Late May through August is the peak window in Salt Lake City, with the heaviest volume around month-end weekends. Established companies commonly book out several weeks in advance during this period.
Should I get an in-home estimate or an online quote?
For local moves under 2,500 lb, an online or phone estimate is usually accurate. For interstate moves out of Salt Lake City or 3+ bedroom households, request a video survey or in-home estimate so the binding price reflects your actual inventory.
What's the most reliable way to verify a Salt Lake City mover?
Check the company's USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website, look at their BBB profile and current accreditation, and read recent reviews on Google and Yelp. Avoid any mover unwilling to share a USDOT number on request.
How long does a typical Salt Lake City move take?
A 1-bedroom local move in Salt Lake City usually takes 3–5 hours with two movers. A 3-bedroom local move runs 7–10 hours, and most movers won't book a same-day move past 4 PM start time.
How we evaluate Salt Lake City movers: we verify federal registration and operating authority against FMCSA records, record carrier or broker classification, and note state licensing where the state regulator publishes it.
